Love All Four
I pulled up the hood of my winter sweater over my head. He hated my scars even I did, at least something we hated in common except for each other. I hated my life living with someone who knew nothing than reminding me how my parents didn't love me, how I belong to him as an object he bought for pleasure and how he was the only one I had....that we had. We both were abandoned and he was possessive and his love is painful.
"Little lamb, let's go. Don't you want to go to school anymore or what?" His usual angry and deafening voice got into my princess sized room. That pet name that I hated so much, I hated my name and pet name more than life itself. The very Genesis of my problems.
"C.... coming." I stuttered as I picked my bag from the bed and ran downstairs to meet him. His gaze followed my movement down the stairs with somewhat jealousy and anger. Yeah right, like every time.
"Is there anything wrong?" I couldn't stop myself from asking him after seeing the displeasure in his eyes.
"Come here." he said with a gentle but strong voice. My legs wobbled forward towards him as my breaths stopped short making my heart skip numerous beats.
He pulled me towards himself into a tight bear hug with no thoughts of letting me go. I could feel his lips on my hair and him taking a sniff of my scent, his favorite strawberry milk scent that I had.
" Don't you dare let anyone touch you or else you will get homeschooled for the next year. Eat well and tell me if anyone dares bully you, okay?"
I nodded to his words backing away from his embrace with small steps. He got the signal and he groaned in frustration before he pulled me out and straight into the car like I was some doll. I was a doll to everyone I met not a human who could feel. I live like repunzel but suffered more worse than Snow White ever did. My life was a rollercoaster of emotions which leaves nothing but pain and regret, I was better of not being born or dead than here with him more than anything else.
I took a look at the man driving with utter concentration with the side of my eyes, I let out a slow sigh from my lips. I was fed up with this. The car stopped abruptly in front of a big highschool, I couldn't remember the last time I was here. I dropped out and was homeschooled by him for two years. Now, i was back.
"Remember what I told you and the butler will come for you in the evening. Now, get out." I nodded politely with a forced smile. I packed my things and ran out of the car before he changed his mind and turned the car around. I watched his car leave with great relief and happiness, now I was free from him for a few hours at least. I couldn't be more happier right now.
"Freedom at last." I screamed at myself in my head in joy. Little did I know, things were about to get from worse to impossibly unbearable. I walked into the school and straight to my class, that devil's words were Ringing in my mind like an alarm bell. He doesn't bluff, he would get me back as soon as I did something he didn't like or disobeyed his orders. Like a good little lamb.
"Isn't that Abby? Where has she been for such a long time? Why did she come back?" I could hear the whispers around me. Except for my awful and terrible private life, I had a terrible school life as well. I didn't have any friends, obviously didn't have good grades, the legendary zero queen and mummy who kept her face covered always, rumored to be more uglier than a pig.
"Idiots...they don't know anything." I sighed in my mind as I ignored them and continued walking into my class. The class fell quiet as soon as I walked in.
Glares..Stares..dirty looks
Yeah as usual.
I bowed to the class before I went to sit at the back of the class room like I always did. I could feel all eyes on my body boring holes into my very spirit. I was hopeless even away from that dungeon I called home. Things weren't any different here either than it was a home.
Why does it have to be me?
Why not someone else?
I was better off not being with any of them.
